Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>A 28-year-old Mzuzu City Council employee, Ndinawe Mtambo, has taken her bed, fridge and other items to the council\u2019s offices where she has been holding protests over salary delays. Mtambo works at the council as Secretary in the Health Department.<\/p>\n

Public broadcaster MBC reported that for the past two days, Mtambo has been sleeping in an open space at the council to show anger over delays by the council to pay Mtambo and other workers their salary arrears.<\/p>\n

According to Mtambo, she has been struggling to to make ends meet since 2017 despite being employed because the council does not pay salaries on time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough authorities have given me two months\u2019 salary I will continue holding vigils at the council because I want a lasting solution to the problem. We are suffering, we are not supposed to be requesting for our salaries when the council is aware that it has employees,\u201d Mtambo said.<\/p>\n

Mzuzu City Council Public Relations Officer, Macdonald Gondwe, said the council is surprised over Mtambo\u2019s actions saying she should have engaged the council regarding her grievances.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was supposed to engage other authorities and follow procedure before taking this action,\u201d said Gondwe.<\/p>\n

He, however, admitted that the council has been struggling financially. Meanwhile, Mtambo\u2019s mother has since collected her daughter\u2019s property from the council offices.<\/p>\n
